One Light will be built near 13th and Walnut streets, a short walk from the Power and Light District, Sprint Center, H&R Block's world headquarters and the popular downtown Cosentino's grocery store.

The 25-story tower will have 315 residential units and will include such amenities as a rooftop pool and bar, a dog run and bathing area and Google Fiber connections in every apartment.

The project will be the first residential high-rise built in Kansas City since San Francisco Tower opened near Crown Center in 1976.

"Downtown is an economic engine for business, tourism and convention and everything we do as a city," said Kansas City Convention and Visitors Association President and CEO John Stephens. "So adding residential growth like this adds to the vibrancy. It makes it easier to sell Kansas City for tourists and conventions."
